The College of Optometrists’ annual conference and trade exhibition

Topical subjects, leading experts, latest developments and networking with peers – all under one roof Optometry Tomorrow has established itself as one of the UK’s leading optometric events.

The packed programme will feature:

• skills and discussion workshops • peer discussion sessions • lectures and seminars on clinical topics • a therapeutics stream, including an independent prescribing peer discussion session • a trade exhibition where you can learn about innovative product developments • the chance to discuss the latest research with clinical and academic experts • sessions on OCT, paediatrics, AMD, low vision and dry eye • the chance to earn up to 15 interactive CET points over two days • interactive CET sessions with exhibitors.

• gained 36 general CET points • gained a minimum of six points each year • ensured at least 18 of the points have been achieved through interactive CET • ensured at least one point was obtained for participation in a peer review or peer discussion • ensured that points were gained in each optometry competency unit (pictured below).

There are additional requirements for therapeutic specialist optometrists, which include participation in at least one peer review or peer discussion using therapeutics cases, and 18 additional therapeutics speciality CET points.

Competencies for optometrists

Delegates with a two-day ticket could earn up to 15 interactive CET points, helping you on your way to meeting, or exceeding, your requirements for this cycle.

Therapeutics stream We are proud to present a dedicated, one-day therapeutics stream, when hot topics including glaucoma drugs, red eye and uveitis will be discussed. These seminars are designed especially for those who need to meet the therapeutics competency requirements. Although aimed at those with the therapeutics qualification, the sessions are open to all delegates.

Optometry Tomorrow 2015 | The must-attend clinical event for all UK optometrists

George Giles Memorial Lecture: What you don’t see can hurt you – vision and driving Professor Joanne Wood MCOptom

Summary

Professor Joanne Wood Professor, School of Optometry and Vision Science, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.

Most developed countries set visual standards for driving eligibility, with visual acuity and visual fields being the most prevalent vision standards worldwide.

While previous research has failed to show that increased crash rates are associated with reduced vision, more recent evidence supports a strong relationship between driving performance and functional vision measures. This lecture will provide a current and comprehensive overview of the relevant research in this area, and discuss their implications with respect to optometrists assessing a patient’s visual fitness for driving and providing relevant advice.

The lecture will discuss why vision is important for driving, and will bring together material from research literature, including data from research undertaken by Professor Wood about the relationship between vision and driving. These findings will be related to the practical issues regarding vision testing for licensing and assessing fitness to drive with emphasis on the critical role of the optometrist.

Biography Joanne Wood is a Professor at the School of Optometry and Vision Science and the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), and has research expertise spanning a number of key areas.

Joanne graduated with first class honours in optometry from Aston University and spent two years in optometric practice before returning to Aston University to complete a PhD in automated visual field investigation. Her PhD was followed by a Post Doctoral fellowship in clinical psychophysics at Oxford University. She then joined the School of Optometry at QUT in Brisbane, Australia in 1989 as a Post Doctoral Fellow and currently holds the position of Professor in the School.

New linked topics for 2015

More skills workshops than in 2014

Learning paths

Glaucoma

Optometry Tomorrow will teach you new skills and knowledge that can help you in everyday practice. See the full conference programme on pages 8-11 to choose the sessions you wouldn’t want to miss.

If you want to improve your knowledge on how to diagnose, refer, treat and manage glaucoma then look no further than the glaucoma sessions we have on offer. You can hear from glaucoma experts on current treatment options, find out the latest research on how a patient sees with glaucoma, learn how to manage different glaucoma cases and update your skills on contact tonometry and gonioscopy.

The conference programme covers a broad range of clinical topics, giving you many opportunities to update your skills and knowledge on topics such as paediatrics, contact lenses, red eye, glaucoma, tumours, dispensing, and low vision. New for 2015, we have identified linked topics to guide you through sessions on particular areas of interest to help maximise learning opportunities.

Some of the key topic areas on the programme are detailed here.

6

Paediatrics We have sessions that will help you improve your confidence in managing and treating children. Sessions include how to diagnose children, deal with children who claim not to be able to see, how to manage amblyopia and how to refine your cycloplegic and refraction techniques.

Optometry Tomorrow 2015 | The must-attend clinical event for all UK optometrists

Contact lenses Do you want to perfect your skills on how to fit multifocal lenses, how to manage orthokeratology patients, and how to manage allergies in contact lens wearers, as well as hear an update on recent innovations in contact lenses? If so, our contact lens sessions will be ideal for you.

The impact of lifestyle on vision Learn more about how diet, supplements, and the effects of UV and smoking can have an impact on vision. You will also be able to improve your skills in communicating healthy lifestyle messages to patients. In addition, get the latest update on the links between vision and falls and vision and driving.
